Chapter 331 - Marquis Yan Jin (1/2)
9th January
A powerful aura erupted from the almost uninhabited Fluttering Snow Peak. In the cave abode’s chamber, Yan Jin opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with excitement. I’ve finally broken through! I have finally become a Marquis G.o.dfiend! It’s all thanks to the ice lotus flower Meng Chuan gave me. Otherwise, I’ll be stuck at the bottleneck for countless years.
He had been cultivating arduously at Archean Mountain for many years. Previously, he had left the mountain to join a G.o.dfiend team. He had experienced many life-and-death battles, and his insights were very deep. However, he had been stuck at the critical juncture. When he saw the ice lotus flower, he felt inspired. Following that, he broke through to the Realm of Dao in just three months. He finally saw hope that his cultivation would continue to rise.
After reaching the Realm of Dao, he had also cultivated a more profound sword art. Just a few days ago, he had also gained some insights into his sword art. As his emotions surged, he used his sword art to seek answers from his inner self. It allowed his soul to improve greatly and condense an Essence Soul.
In fact, he had been cultivating Archean Mountain’s Essence Soul mystic technique for many years. He used his body’s Quintessential Essence to nurture his soul. After all, he had a transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend body. After many years of nurturing, his soul was only a little short of condensing the Essence Soul. Finally, he sought answers from his inner self with his sword art and formed an Essence Soul.
Yan Jin had finally become a Marquis G.o.dfiend.
The situation off-mountain is dire. Archean Mountain has always been in desperate need of Marquis G.o.dfiends. Yan Jin’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation. I just need to consolidate my strength, and I’ll be able to leave the mountain in a few months. I can also kill demon monarchs.
As he watched his elder brother, Xue Feng, and his good friend-Meng Chuan-fight the demons off-mountain, he also wanted to join them. However, he never received Archean Mountain’s permission.
13th April.
Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow were stationed in Chu An City. As demons attacked cities almost every month, human G.o.dfiends often swapped defense locations! This made the demons unable to figure out which G.o.dfiends were guarding a city. Once the demons learned of the defense arrangements, they could deliver a targeted attack.
Swoosh.
One letter flew down from the sky towards Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—who were both eating breakfast in the hall. Meng Chuan reached out and received the letter. He glanced at the avian demon monarch outside, which had quickly left.
“It’s You’er’s letter,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. When he opened the letter, his eyes lit
up.
“What does it say?” Liu Qiyue asked immediately.
“You’er attained Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body. She asked Yan Jin and read a lot of books. She felt that it would take at least five to six years to reach the perfected Azure Lotus Divine Body, and she doesn’t have certainty of success.” Meng Chuan handed the letter to Liu Qiyue. “She doesn’t want to waste time as a mortal and asks if she should directly become a G.o.dfiend. What’s your take?”
“Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body?” Liu Qiyue nodded slightly. “You’er spent two years on the mountain to reach Greater Mastery. To reach perfection, it will indeed take a lot of time. In fact, she might not even be able to attain perfection. Instead of spending a lot of time on the Azure Lotus Divine Body, it’s better for her to become a G.o.dfiend as soon as possible. After becoming a G.o.dfiend, her powerful body and Quintessential Essence will strengthen her soul. Her cultivation will also be faster.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. When he was young, he had condensed an Essence Soul. Due to his weak mortal body and weak Essence Soul, he couldn’t withstand accepting a fragment of the Lightning Devastator Saber legacy.
“Since You’er doesn’t wish to waste time, let her make a breakthrough,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s not good to force her if it’s against her will. She needs to make decisions regarding her cultivation matters according to her preferences.”
“Then, we’ll reply?” asked Liu Qiyue. “Are we in favor of her breaking through?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.
A few days later.
Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow strolled in the garden.
